The Minister of Economy, Levan Davitashvili met with Rashad Nabiyev, the Minister of Digital Development and Transport of Azerbaijan. The parties discussed transport cooperation between the two countries, ongoing projects and future priorities during a meeting in Tbilisi.

“One of the important directions of economic cooperation between Georgia and Azerbaijan is cooperation in transport. That is why we meet every year and talk about plans for the year. We also talked about the joint project involving the construction of the Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway. We expect the final stage of work to be operational this year.

Besides, we discussed the joint venture being established between Georgia and Azerbaijan to manage this infrastructure. This venture will allow us to utilise this section more effectively and attract a greater volume of cargo”, - said Levan Davitashvili.

The conversation also addressed the significance of the Middle Corridor - a logistics route connecting Central Asia and China to Europe via the South Caucasus through Georgia - with both parties exploring measures to enhance its competitiveness and attract a greater volume of freight.
